Apix Design Glass

I noticed FC didn't have a thread for Apix Designs so I decided to change that. Dan's prices are amazing - I got my gridded stemline to gridded disc from him for just $220. My tube has more points of diffusion than a $300 Sovereignty gridded stemline but I got it for $80 cheaper! The reason that his prices are so good is because he recently started a couple of years back, but he's been progressing fast and the stuff he puts out these days is awesome.

SD_haze those are some nice Cloud-friendly specs! I didn't know he was taking custom orders as I heard he stopped a few months back, but I've seen some of his worked tubes and I'd love to get something custom worked from him one day.

Krimidad I agree haha I wish all the glass companies out there would do this. It looks way classier than having a big colorful logo on the main part of the pipe. Those logos make make pipes look tacky, plus they block the view of the milk.

From what I understand he's not so much taking "custom orders" but more making stemlines "made to order". If you got to his apixdesign.com website, you can see the basic $145 stemline says Made To Order.

I approached him saying i just had a few basic specifications but was still his design.

He put up a 19" King Stemline (10 gridded slits, 60 holes) to Disc (25 holes). I've always wanted a King Stem in the shape of a sexy straight tube! If only it were shorter, then I'd definitely snatch it up...

Apparently though, he didn't want to send this one out because he wants it to be perfect.

This try wasn't "100%" and he said the base could be bigger and the joint weld could be better. He quoted it at a 75%.
Instead of shipping off the finished tube because it was done, like he easily could have, Dan offered to just make another one today. "Practice makes perfect, the next one will be much better"
